Russia has to have some option other than killing Ukrainian soldiers and immiserating Ukrainian citizens. Ukrainians are the victims of US and European belligerence, and there is nothing any of them could say or do to end the conflict. Nobody asked their permission to go to war, nobody asks them if they want to continue it, and when they're polled, they hate it. They voted for a Russian-speaking Jewish non-politician actor in order to stay as far away from the US funded Nazi militias and politicians as possible. Turns out that playing a ethical innocent in a TV show doesn't mean you're a ethical innocent. Even when Zelensky's had an attack of ethics, the US administration and media immediately starts to marginalize him and question his authority, which endangers& him. If he doesn't make it to that inevitable London apartment that most Western-backed rulers end up in, he's a dead man.

Nothing makes the West happier than the suffering of Ukrainians, because they can use it to market the war to a populace who has absolutely no idea why it happened, or why it's still happening.

Everything else Russia could do is too much of an escalation. They could fire a missile at a Polish base if they can connect it to attacks launched on Russia's soil, but that's an open attack against NATO, and even though NATO wouldn't respond with anything other than thoughts and prayers, the funding tap would open up fully again due to the propaganda value. That's crazy when Trump is coming in, and there could possibly be a big swing in US administration support for Ukraine. No chance after that. Trump doesn't want to look submissive to Putin, especially after watching Biden be emasculated by Bibi. It's better to have Trump wanting to show that he's not submissive to Zelensky (as if Zelensky could stop this train.)

The best target would have been Americans in Ukraine, which is why after the demonstration of the fact that Russia has missiles that can't be stopped and can reach all of Europe, the US immediately closed its embassy and ran. We'll support Ukrainian attacks with satellite targeting now, we're not worried about Russia firing unstoppable missiles into space.

What's left? Immiseration of European citizens to soften their support. What ability does Russia have to do that? They can sabotage cables. The West blew up Nordstream, it's silly to play superior. Nordstream was also* crucial European infrastructure, and its destruction has made the daily lives of Europeans measurably worse.

> we need to be serious about our adversary that keeps threatening to nuke major European cities off the map

What does this even mean? There's nothing anyone can do about it. Making a serious face won't stop a missile. The only thing protecting European cities is Russian rationality.

I know of many hiring manager who hire with recruiters that specialise in "diverse" candidates, where diverse means women and people of color only, so they can have better looking "diversity" stats. They certainly have a preference but this has been going since (at least) 2018 - it was true before the massive layoffs of 2023-24 and the end of ZIRP. What changed recently is that the market is really crap.

Incidentally all the people I know looking for a job are white males, but it may just be because they're the majority of people in tech I know anyway.

On legality of the above (given I was pretty sure it was illegal): It's legal, because "positive discrimination" is legal in the relevant EU countries (and in the UK).
Probably because it costs money and it also likely also will quickly succumb to sloppification by experimenting with their own ai and having an unstable founder…
Ah. That's a bit more sane for sure. Although with some big caveats. A founder can be crucial for a long time, and there's nothing wrong with that. It's a tradeoff. You don't want to spend time operationalizing the business before it's stable for example. That's just a waste of time. The board very well could be mistaken on which stage the business is in.
I don't understand what you're getting at. This thread concerns how we used to be able to find good information with these contraptions called search engines, so that word of mouth was not the only way information was found.
A related rabbit hole that you can jump down in FoM is that Zermelo's ordinals and von Neumann ordinals cannot both be true at the same time. Wikipedia's intro to the topic [0] is a starting place, see also [1] which might be more in depth.

> If you don't know why set theory is important, it is because set theory is the foundation of all of mathematics.

Nitpick maybe but the types and categories people might prefer sets as "a" foundation instead of "the"? These 3 things are the most useful, get the most attention, and have benefited from the most serious efforts. But IMHO one of the cool things about math is that if you're willing to squint and work at it, then many alternative foundations are possible. For example Conway's surreals[2] hint that you can get numbers/sets by starting with even games as a primitive. I can't quickly find refs, but the visualizations here hint that starting with graph theoretic axioms can lead to sets instead of vice-versa and I think people have worked on that too. Who knows whether alien math builds everything else up starting from geometry or probability, etc.

Hiring a lot in Poland and from what I know paying peanuts compared to US salaries, but still above the market rate in Europe, mainly because market rate for engineers in EU is nothing to write home about.

It sucks for you guys, but its just the new reality. Engineering is dead end career unless you are top 10%, move on to management, or money doesnt play a role, but at that point you might as well go duck farming or become a carpenter.
Hi,

Sorry, had to stop the free plan for now. The traffic got so high I was unable to sustain the cost myself of letting everyone do free testing.
Encoding n as the set of all m < n is called "von Neumann ordinals". Encoding (positive) n as just the singleton set containing n's immediate predecessor is called "Zermelo ordinals". The main advantage of using the former representation rather than the latter is that it allows uniformly encoding not just finite ordinals, but also transfinite ordinals, many of which do not have an immediate predecessor. E.g., in the von Neumann ordinal system, the infinite set of all finite ordinals may itself be interpreted as an ordinal value larger than every finite one. (And then the set of finite ordinals ∪ {the set of finite ordinals} becomes yet a larger transfinite ordinal still, and so on...)

Even if stockpiles runs low, Finland could finance equipment for Ukraine.

Both of these options would hurt Russia more, and probably cost less than direct intervention.

Awesome-AI-2024: AI milestones in 2024
I am not sure if it is worth answering but here it goes anyway:

1. Taiwan is not China, any more than Ukraine is Russia, except if you believe all the propaganda coming from the mainland (or Russia). Ask any Taiwanese, and while many consider and appreciate a solid Chinese cultural heritage, they consider themselves independent and want nothing to do with China (except business). Newer generations of Taiwanese are even more independently-minded and consider themselves even more Taiwanese than the previous generations.

2. Even if for some reason you truly think that it is the same country or should be the same country, it is immoral to wish that a peaceful, independent, democratic, and open society like Taiwan's should be brutally attacked and absorbed by a war-mongering, authoritarian/dictatorial, opaque country. (Things could be different if mainland China was democratic, but it isn't, and won't be for a long time.)

3. Even if for some reason you are ok with the above, odds are that the difficulty and complexity of an attack on Taiwan would end up being extraordinarily costly for China (and Taiwan of course). It could lead to all sorts of escalations in the region, sanctions, the collapse of trade with China from the US and other countries, nuclear proliferation (see Ukraine considering developing nuclear weapons if they don't get security guarantees), and who knows what else.

Technology enables scale and reach, which solves some problems but also creates its own set of issues. I think you're right on with the solution: do things that are anti-scale. If you make things a bit more inconvenient, a bit more costly, and a bit more local, you create an environment where there's space for trust and humanity---values that don't scale.

They're not going to try to impress me, or expect me to impress them. More likely they take the piss out of me. I can just relax.

Automated Malfare – discriminatory effects of welfare automation (Relive) [video]
Most of my work projects require remote machines. But I edit local files most of the time (in Emacs). Unit tests may be run locally sometimes (docker or even on the localhost). Other tasks/tests run remotely and setup may be rather involved (VSC would be of little help here) but it is easy to use/extend (Python glues together some ssh commands and cloud APIs). The code may be synced (non CI case) using a customizable wrapper around entr & rsync (more efficient, more control, more reliable than VSC plugin)— it helps with the fast feedback loop.

I'm afraid I don't understand what rubric you're talking of. Are you asking me whether employers across the world should read HN? Or is that an autocorrect typo for "rule"?

If the latter, yes, certainly. My last two employers had to hire US and Canadian developers anyway just to be able to sell to the US/Canada, so I guess it's already the case.
I've been wondering how long it would take for a startup to figure out how to build train cars for cheaper than the incumbents. I know it's hard, but not as hard as building airplanes... As long as the authorities agree to certify them, and I could see a lot of corruption there.
> 100%, this is a natural reaction to the situation companies have created

Hiring manager here. I don’t like the situation either, but to honest a lot of what you’re seeing is a natural reaction to the shenanigans that applicants are doing.

When you post a job listing and get 500 resumes from people who aren’t even close to qualified and obviously didn’t read the job description, you understand why we’re not sending custom written rejection letters to every single application.
Under capitalism, a private company has duties to shareholders first. If you want companies has duties to their host country first, there are other social systems for that. Perhaps fascism.

Sorry - I believe I am off topic as this is not relevant given:

"This indirectly enforces the idea that sets cannot have duplicate elements, as set membership is defined purely by the presence or absence of elements. For example:"

So there is a constraint on what sort of trees are allowed in this -forrest- which would preclude most finite rooted trees.
> No, they would just stop accepting poor people, as renting is inherently useful.

Not at all? Not a single landlord would want out of the business? If you couldn't even evict if somebody never paid a single dime of rent, I think that would cascade and destroy the whole industry. An extreme measure that I didn't suggest, you did.

> I’m not sure why people continuously believe that getting rid of property owners will somehow be good for renters.

I don't want to get rid of property owners. I inherently believe it's better to own a home than rent. I do believe converting renters into home owners is good for the ex-renter.

> Renter, property owner. We're all people.
I'm getting the same problem, just a static image panning around.
I did this as well and landed a job in 3 months. The most tedious part before I automated the process was copying and pasting relevant infos into my cover letter, updating stuff, creating the word document for the cover letter and a copy of my resume in a folder for that company/offer. Also, I auto added job details to a Notion table (a Kanban board) where I tracked open applications.

The whole process took me previously half an hour to 45 minutes. Afterwards it took me less then 2 minutes. I didn’t apply for more, but could write an application in a fraction of time. And then focus on researching the company and the job.

Chatgpt made the whole process super smooth. We live in wonderful times.
I think "no". Feedback in the form of mistakes is valuable in the learning process. Conversely, if some code works, and you don't know why, you're also not getting as much out of your programming time. In either case, AI powered "help" will keep you from learning as deeply as you otherwise might.

If all you want is to pass an exercise, then use it.
I can tell you that US tech companies making enormous amounts of money from your country's populace while contributing back near-zero jobs in return is just as bitter.
The argument might go something like "The ends don't justify the means" or "Two wrongs don't make it right" etc. It can deeply offend ones meritocratic values to be pushed aside to ensure someone has an equal outcome with lesser qualifications (or even equal qualifications where race was the deciding factor) if it can be shown this occurs.

But of course inequity in outcome deeply offends other values. So there can't be a clearly right answer.

There is a book that explored the values of both sides of these issues called Righteous Mind that really shifted me away from zealous opinions for or against DEI.

I know the on-site is time-consuming and expensive, but so is firing people (at least in United States it is.) I've had a few on-site interviews where having them on-site made us realize we could never work with them.

It sounds like those in Denmark who are rejoicing over this are also anti-globalization, so its a win for everyone then.
> Yes, a candidate is responsible for their own actions.

Yes, but I think it is overly reductive. As a candidate, you’ve to now apply for a magnitude more of jobs. Tailoring resumes per job takes time, and given how many more I’ve to send, this doesn’t scale.

Additionally, whatever ATS system is being used might auto-reject it because the algorithm decided it’s not a match. If tailored resumes increased hit rate, that would be a different story but that is not the case.
> Europe clings to the hope that the rules-based international order that—at this point—everyone is abandoning, can be resuscitated through hopes and prayers. It can’t. We’re back to realpolitik.

Some people, especially conservatives, have loved this narrative for forever: The rules-based order is soft, weak, wishy-washy, ineffectual fantasy; and tough, hard, reality is 'realpolitik'. And everyone knows 'tough' beats 'weak'.

IMHO it rationalizes emotional drives we all have for aggression and, feeling threatened and scared, for anger; and it serves the anti-liberal social/political agenda (because somehow a rules-based order, or any mass, peaceful, beneficial cooperation by humans, is now 'liberal' fantasy). But that pisses me off because it distracts and undermines people doing the real work. It's a person who, while we're under attack, freaks out, satisfies those emotional drives, and disrupts the team with verbal hand grenades. It's lazy thinking, IMHO, leaving the hard work of solving the problem - and now servicing someone's emotional needs and cleaning up their mess - to others, who must have the courage to be calm under fire and the courage to do right and find success.

That narrative also does what Putin wants more than anything, the destruction of the rules-based order: A world based on democracy, human rights, and associated international rules makes it impossible for Putin to carry out his imperial desires. The democratic, human-rights-based countries are powerful, unified, prosperous - Putin can't hope to compete. So he's destroying that order without firing a shot at its power base, because he has found many inside those countries to help him, many unwittingly.

The rules-based order isn't dead (as the narrative has declared since its birth). It's not wishy-washy fantasy, it was created by who knew 'realpolitik' and warfare far better than anyone living ever will, unless we are very unlucky; your 'realpolitik' fantasy is the wishy-washy and ignorant side. The rules-based order is not weak or ineffectual; 'realpolitik' is weak and ineffectual; it can't achieve anything; it destroys freedom, lives, and prosperity at massive scales; war, it's outcome, is the worst scourage of humanity. The founders of the rules-based order created it in part because, after WWII, they thought another war with then-current technology could destroy civilization - that was the technology of the 1940s. The rules-based order has been arguably the most powerful force ever in international relations, creating undreamt-of freedom, prosperity, and peace.

It was handed to us on a plate; you had to do nothing to build it, to create this incredible world out of the literal ashes of incredible destruction, hate, and violence - perhaps that's the problem, why some have a fantasy that they want to burn everything and return to living in ashes.

There's a standard test for this: The O'Connor Tweezer Dexterity Test.[1]
There's a board with small holes, a supply of metal pins, and a tweezer for putting pins in the holes. It's overpriced, because it's "medical".

Some electronics assembly plants use such a test to screen new hires.

Tweezer dexterity improves with practice. Hands are more precise than vision.
Looking through a microscope, you can position something within a thousandth of an inch with tweezers. This is familiar to anyone who's placed surface mount parts on a board by hand.

But they make a lot (most) of their money outside of the USA, so why restrict them to doing the work only in the USA? That will not only start a trade war, but give an unfair advantage to foreign companies (like SAP) who can open up R&D offices in the USA, Germany, or wherever they want.
